In the first three days of the weekend, it earned a box office of 20.32 million US dollars, a very perfect answer.

Next, there is no need for Ryan to pay attention to the release of "Blade Warrior", and he can't help but focus on "X-Men", which is under preparation.

Avi-Allard is the president of Marvel Studios and the producer of "X-Men".

But for many things in the crew, the final decision is in Ryan's hands.

Most of the time, Avi-Allard only has the right to suggest.

After all, he is not familiar with Hollywood, and he doesn't think comprehensively enough about many things.

In addition, pay attention to the funds raised by charity auctions. Counting Ryan's own 5 million US dollars, the total has exceeded 15 million US dollars.

This is not a small amount of money. Many Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies have been busy for a year, and the net income they get in the end may not be so much.

These funds will not be stored in the charitable fund account for too long. Before next Friday, about one-third will be used to buy food, medicine and other materials, and return to Africa with Charlize-Theron .

If nothing else, she may become a South African charity ambassador this time.

On Friday morning, when the container ship left the port, there were no less than a hundred media outlets, densely packed with flashing lights.

For a while, among the media reporters, Ryan became a philanthropist.

By the end of March, "Blade Warrior" has been registered in many overseas countries one after another.

Among them, Spain quickly drew 200 films on the first day, and within three days of the first weekend, it earned 1.5 million US dollars, easily winning the first overseas box office champion.

It was released in 132 cinemas in Australia, earning a box office of US$1 million, 44 cinemas in the Netherlands earned a box office of US$440,000, and 241 films in France were released, earning a box office of US$1.5 million in five days.

Of course, it’s not all good news. The box office in Xiangjiang and South Africa is not very satisfactory. It only took tens of thousands of dollars in the box office after a few days of release. Malaysia directly banned the screening.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom and Brazil achieved good results. The United Kingdom earned US$5.7 million in ten days, while Brazil earned US$858,000 in box office from 133 cinemas in four days.

Adding all these things together, in just ten days, the box office of "Blade Warrior" overseas reached 12.32 million US dollars.

There are still some countries that have not been released, and the overseas box office performance of future films will not be too bad.

At the same time, on the account of the "X-Men" crew, the second fund of more than 45 million US dollars has arrived.

Orion Films has raised an initial $75 million, and there will be an additional $25 million in funding.

The budget of "X-Men" will reach an astonishing $100 million, and the biggest expense is not the salary, but the production of special effects.

Ryan only took a symbolic basic salary and a certain percentage of the box office.

To put it bluntly, the investment in "X-Men" all came from Orion Pictures, and there was no means of financing. Ryan didn't need to get a high basic film salary.

It's better to invest more funds in the production of special effects.

Don't look at Ryan always saying that the core of "X-Men" is the spirit of unity.

In fact, the main selling point of the film is the special effects.

Of course, the togetherness shown by the X-Men team is also a charm that cannot be ignored.

In this regard, Ryan couldn't help but increase the role of Phoenix Girl, and also added a lot of roles for Wolverine.

It is undeniable that the Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman is indeed very attractive, and the first phase of the three "X-Men" filming is over, and Orion Pictures will prepare to shoot an independent film with Wolverine as the protagonist.

So Orion Films directly signed an eight-film contract with Hugh Jackman.

For this reason, Hugh Jackman directly terminated the contract with the agent and chose to join Star Economy Company.

Not to mention "X-Men" directed by Ryan himself, a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, even an invitation from an ordinary Hollywood movie, he couldn't refuse.

There are also three more important roles in the film, Storm, Mystique, and Rascal. Storm has already been confirmed to be played by Halle Berry, and the remaining two roles need to be auditioned.

Among them, Mystique is only a villain, and there are not many scenes of little naughty.

There are still many agents and actresses who want to become a member of the X-Men team through various channels.

It was clear to many actresses that this would be a regular team member for at least three films.

After several rounds of auditions, Mystique has been preliminarily decided to be played by Rebecca Romijn.

The reason for choosing Rebecca Romijn is very simple. She is a model, and her body condition has been recognized by many people. Ryan has watched "Female Beauty" in which he starred.

A terribly **** movie, the kiss between beauties, and other beautiful pictures are enough to make any male hormone soar.

Little Rascal needs to continue to audition. The actors in the previous rounds of auditions, Ryan felt that they were a little bit worse, not because their acting skills were not good, nor were they not beautiful enough, but because they felt a little bit worse.

With his charisma, he can find a suitable actress.

For example, there is a pretty good candidate in front of you.

"Ryan, long time no see."

In the "X-Men" crew, Anne-Hathaway wore a tight skirt and a pair of high heels, standing in front of Ryan very generously, "I'm here for an audition."

Looking at Anne-Hathaway in front of him, Ryan rubbed his chin. She was already 17 years old in a flash, her figure became taller, her facial features became more refined, and there was a faint outline of her previous life.

Anne-Hathaway played many roles in her previous life.

One of the characters that impressed Ryan the most is Catwoman in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", which is beautiful, sexy, tall, agile and cunning.

As for a certain black catwoman, there is no comparison between the catwoman played by Anne-Hathaway.

"Find a stylist for a change of clothes."

Ryan stared at Anne-Hathaway, and stayed for a while, "Ask Sophia to lead you there, she knows what style you are suitable for."

"Thank you!" Anne Hathaway hugged Ryan excitedly and kissed, then turned to find Sofia Coppola.

She has made guest appearances in some crews, and it seems that she can be seen in many films produced by Orion Films.

But this does not change one thing, so far, she has not officially starred in any film.

For Anne-Hathaway who wants to become an actress, the most important thing right now is to get Ryan's approval to join the crew of "X-Men".

Andrews-Smith on the side, looking at Anne-Hathaway's back, couldn't help but praise and said: "A very beautiful young actress, especially her facial contour, looks very recognizable."

"However, she seems to be underage."

Andrews-Smith withdrew his gaze, staring at the lip marks on Ryan's face, with a slightly strange tone.

But not every actress who came to audition dared to do this.

Ryan naturally understood what he meant, reached out and wiped the lip marks left by Anne-Hathaway, and said helplessly, "A friend's daughter is not as complicated as you imagine."

"If she fails to meet the requirements in the audition with makeup, you can directly refuse, without considering my existence."

He wouldn't do anything to an underage girl.

Andrews-Smith shrugged. "I just thought she was so beautiful, like another Julia Roberts when she was younger."

Anne-Hathaway's youthful appearance was definitely considered the top level of Hollywood, and with her taller figure, it was easy to attract the attention of a large number of people.

The most important point is that her appearance is very recognizable and can be remembered at a glance.

A recognizable Hollywood actor is often more famous.

Ryan suddenly discovered that Andrews-Smith had a good vision, and he was indeed the casting director of the crew.

In the previous life, Anne-Hathaway and Julia-Roberts were tied for the title of Hollywood beauty with a big mouth, and even Angelina-Jolie could only be inferior to the two.

Ryan ended the topic for the time being, and asked about the work of the crew, "Houston, what's going on there!"

There is no subway in Houston, and there is not even a professional studio. During the filming process, the crew will definitely encounter some minor troubles.

Fortunately, it is not impossible to work around. Some indoor scenes can be filmed in Los Angeles.

"Most of the locations have been selected."

Andrews-Smith became serious, "The crew can go to Houston before May."

Many people find it a little strange to choose Houston as the shooting location.

However, the attitude of the local state government is not bad, not only providing a very favorable tax rebate policy, but also providing a lot of help when choosing a location for filming.

There is also labor costs in Houston, which are much cheaper than those in Los Angeles.

Of course, it is only cheaper than Los Angeles. Compared with Canada and New Zealand, Houston has no advantage.

If it wasn't one of the terms of the deal, Ryan would rather stay in Los Angeles to shoot than choose Houston.

"By the way, this is the invitation letter that was just forwarded from Orion Films."

Andrews-Smith picked up an invitation letter from the table and handed it to Ryan, "The invitation letter for the premiere of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" in May was sent by George Lucas himself."

The distribution company of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" is Twentieth Century Fox. In view of the dispute between Orion Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, it has not ended~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Unless George Lucas personally nods, otherwise The crew will not invite Ryan to the premiere of the film.

Ryan took the invitation letter and glanced at it, then threw it into the drawer, "A headache-inducing invitation."

There was no way he could refuse an invitation from George Lucas.

No way, I can only go to the premiere, say hello to the top executives of 20th Century Fox, and ask casually when the overseas income of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can be settled.

Not for a while.

"Can I come in?" Anne-Hathaway's voice came in together with the crisp sound of high heels landing.

Ryan seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
